Tricky is the place to discuss difficult questions away from the bear pit of social media.

Creative director David Chukwujekwu, Trainee paralegal Amanda Calley, Youtuber Kirstie Bryce, and North Lanarkshire councillor Meghan Gallacher discuss the effectiveness of online activism.

Whether it鈥檚 Black Lives Matter, Marcus Rashford's crusade over school meals or the global campaign EndSARS drawing attention to police brutality in Nigeria online is steadily becoming the place where people are engaging with political and social issues. But does posting a black square or a hashtag really constitute activism?

For our panel there鈥檚 nothing worse than taking a selfie at a protest just to be seen there, or a commercial brand jumping on the band wagon of the cause du jour. As for so called influencers activism can be a double edged sword, support every cause and people don鈥檛 take you seriously, fail to support something and people call you out for not caring.
